Re: Do you ever contact sellers directly about issues?

I contact listing agents all the time if I see a leak in the roof or in the open electric safety or gas safety concerns, flue pipes dumping monoxide into the home. If the seller is at the home I will point out safety or property damaging items all the time. Not the whole report. Just things like water running on the ceiling, wires hanging out of a box, a roof leak etc.
